Implant-Supported Dentures
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile; they can impact how you eat, speak, and feel each day. Ill-fitting traditional removable dentures often add to the frustration, slipping out of place or limiting what you can comfortably enjoy.
Implant-supported dentures can provide a modern alternative. Designed and placed by our experienced Sydney dentists, these customised restorations can provide a secure solution that restores both confidence and function – all without the need for a full set of dental implants.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant dentures (also known as implant-supported or implant-anchored dentures) are a fixed dental restoration designed to replace missing teeth on the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Instead of relying on pastes or adhesives, the denture is securely attached to four to six dental implants, providing a stable, comfortable fit that typically feels remarkably natural.
At The Paddington Dental Surgery, implant dentures are one of the several sought-after restorative options we offer. The best solution for you will depend on your individual needs, goals, and lifestyle, which we’ll carefully evaluate during your personalised consultation.
What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures can provide a number of valuable benefits for the right candidates, including:
- A secure and comfortable fit
- Preservation of jawbone density and strength
- A beautiful, natural-looking smile
- The freedom to enjoy a full range of foods with confidence
- No messy pastes, gels, or adhesives needed
Additional advantages may apply depending on your personalised treatment plan. In many cases, implant-anchored dentures can also be a more cost-effective option than replacing every tooth with individual implants. During your initial consultation, we’ll walk you through your options in detail and help you choose the best approach for your goals and lifestyle.
How Is the Implant-Supported Dentures Procedure Performed?
The implant-supported denture process begins with a personalised consultation, where we’ll take the time to understand your goals, discuss any challenges you’ve experienced, and answer all your questions. Once your oral health and bone structure have been carefully evaluated, we’ll design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During the procedure, small titanium posts (the dental implants) are placed in precise positions within the jawbone to serve as secure anchors for your new denture. The area will be thoroughly numbed, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during this stage; we also offer a number of sedation dentistry options designed to create a more comfortable experience.
Over the next few months, the implants should naturally fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong, lasting foundation. While healing takes place, a temporary restoration can often be worn so you can eat and smile comfortably. Once recovery is complete, your final denture will be carefully adjusted for an ideal fit, natural appearance, and confident function.
How Much Do Implant-Supported Dentures Cost?
The cost of implant-supported dentures can vary depending on the complexity of your treatment plan, the number of implants required, and other individual factors. At The Paddington Dental Surgery, we believe in complete transparency when it comes to your care. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of your anticipated costs and explain all available options clearly. Our team understands that finances are an important part of your decision, and we’ll work with you to find a payment plan or schedule that fits comfortably within your budget so you can move forward with confidence.
